Faizan Zaki, previous runner-up, wins 2025 Scripps National Spelling Bee

Faizan Zaki — who was last year's runner-up — is the winner of the 2025 Scripps National Spelling Bee.

The 13-year-old received the coveted Scripps Cup Thursday night after correctly spelling éclaircissement — a French word that means clarification, explanation or enlightenment in English. He outspelled more than 240 other competitors from across the country, including runner-up Sarvadnya Kadam.
